The European Commission - We are Europe

At a key moment in the history of European Construction and ahead of the European elections May 2014, the European Commission, in partnership with the United Nations, launched a video competition on the theme of the European project and the support of its citizens for this project.Working with fantastic producer and copywriter Tal Haring, I created this short animation for the contest.

Carriage 322 Exhibition

On August 2014 I took part in 'Carriage 322', an Empty House Collective group project at The First Station Complex in Jerusalem.

The compound is a historical-site-turned-shopping-center. I presented two video art works and handed out papers that expressed my view on the new compound's commodification of the historical narrative.

The project revolved around the way we collect knowledge, and the mandate we give institutions and people over its diffusion and formulation. The pieces also demonstrate the epistemological importance of media in this question of knowing.

Tomb

One was disguised as a live feed and accompanied by the following text: "Camera placed inside the ancient Muslim tomb blocked during the conversion of the First Station compound into 11 hectares of commerce, culture and tourism."

Train

The second video is a fictitious archival film, reproduced from a newspaper photograph. The video was a accompanied by the following text: "On Sunday the nineteenth Adar I, 1948, at 8:30 am, a unit of Lohamei Herut Israel struck the military train car with mines and automatic weapons. The attack killed 28 British soldiers and severely injured dozens that were on the train. All our fighters returned safely to their bases."

Children Theater Festival Spot

I paired with designer and illustrator Micaela Terk to create this short paper-cut animation teaser. Our aim was to portray a playful depiction of what goes on behind the stage, just before the show is about to start. As the audience eagerly waits in their seats, the animation tours the rooms and corridors of the theatre, exposing the interesting characters hiding behind the scenes. All of the sound segments used are by the Books, which I felt were extremely appropriate in guiding the plot due to the emphasis on phonetics and language.

Peace Now - Bibi & Co.

Based on Peace Now's February 2015 Report, during the 3rd Netanyahu Government we witnessed a A substantial increase in construction starts, planning and tenders in settlements – specifically in isolated settlements and the most disputed areas in terms of the chance for two states.

I created this animation short with Peace Now to make the most significant points of the report more accessible (the full report here: tinyurl.com/lvzl3ks). The video shows how current government policy takes Israel farther and farther away from a peaceful solution with the Palestinians and that things are escalating faster than it seems.

We Can Prevent the Next War

03/2015

A month from the 2015 election, most of the competing parties' platforms were disturbingly missing any reference to the Israeli-Palesinitan conflict. War has become a habit, infiltrating Palestinian and Israeli civilian lives every 2-3 years. And still the two leading parties were not suggesting any political solution to a conflict that ontinuously exacerbates.

I decided to partner up with director Yaniv Shmeltzer, the Genève Initiative and a fantastic team of creatives to create a short video urging citizens to vote only for a party with a political solution in their platform.

The video demanded some intricate compositing methods to create scenes and locations from scratch, but also designing the magazines, color grading the video and designing and creating motion for the title sequences.

The 9.0 magnitude Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011, ended in a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and finally the release of radioactive materials at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant that experts consider the second largest nuclear accident after the Chernobyl disaster.

Yoel Geva

I was commissioned by Yoel Geva, a leading GMAT and and high school finals preparation institute, to create learning materials that were more concise and image-based and would help students prepare to their final exams in high school. These were the two pilot episodes, presented to the ministry of education.
